Can someone “quit” a condo association and no longer have to pay their dues?

We have a wacko in our association who has always been trouble and complains about every decision made but never participates in any discussions and when he says he’ll bring quotes for jobs, never does. Now he’s announced he’s “quitting” the condo association. I’d love to cut his unit off of water, insurance, etc, but can’t since these are all billed to our entire unit. The condo documents don’t say anything about quitting, I’m quite sure you can’t renounce membership and decide you don’t have to pay, but anyone know more about it?
no. by owning the condo you are automatically subject to the dues and terms of the association. this is part of buying a condo. good or bad it is part of the deal.
you can file a lien against his property for unpaid dues.
I agree with the above poster. When he agreed to buy the condo he agreed to be part of the condo association. If he doesn’t pay his dues, the association can put a lien against his property.
Yep, I agree.
He agreed to be part of the association by buying the condo. The only way he can “quit” is to sell the condo.
The association can place a lien on his condo and sometimes the association can even foreclose on the condo if local laws allow it.
he can quit attending the meetings and that will alleviate his negligence in never fulfilling what he claims he will do
however, as long as he is in the condo, he is liable to the assoc. rules and fees
if he fails to pay the fees, the assoc can sue him
he cant quit. wait until he is passed due, consult the condo declaration and have an attorney file a lien on the property. if he doesn’t pay you can foreclose. get an attorney that specializes in home owners associations and foreclosure proceedings, I own a property management co and manage several large condo complexes. I have had to foreclose on 3 people it costs about $1500 and gets them out
